there can be anywhere from 1 to 5 or 6 color coordinates (where only a single coordinate is needed for either gray scale OR a color lookup table)). It is misleading to imply, as this article does, that the pictures or the rgb boxed color "is color X". Film and electronic cameras also record colors different from what the real color (at the time) was. It is not at all unusual for a monitor to have a "delta-E" of 3 or 4. For comparison, a delta-E of 1 is a barely perceptible color difference. That is, it is to be expected that the color the reader is seeing is NOT the "true" color. (In fact the human eye can see many more colors than RGB allows.) All articles that claim to depict a specific color SHOULD also carry a Caution that unless the picture uploaded was carefully calibrated, and unless the colors recorded are very close to what RGB can display, and unless the reader's display device is also calibrated, then the color can vary significantly from the actual color.

538:. That page makes reference to the color name carnelian, but nowhere calls this color "Cornell red". A brief search using a search engine uncovered no reliable sources referring to such a color (some sites do use the term, but they are generally ones who have copied Knowledge (XXG) content.) 372: 346: 611: 661: 545:). I do plan to remove this entry from that list, but if someone does some research and can can find evidence that this color is commonly called "Cornell red", it can be restored.-- 320:
That is about as accurate as saying a Ford vehicle is identical to a F-150. Pink is a (vaguely defined) RANGE of colors. Can someone remove the offending phrase from the article?

I don't see any evidence that these colors are discussed in this article and plan to delete them from the list per this discussion:

If someone decides that these colors should have a section in this article and it is added, I would appreciate a ping.--

Absolutely no mention from one of the most important colors from human perspective, the color of the oxidized blood?
